I saw this photo a while ago and thought it was so pretty. I finally got around to making my own, but I'll most likely do a reshoot one day. Still lifes are pretty tough for me. Hm, maybe I should practice more still lifes. For now, here are a few of the things I possess that mean the most to me:

Elephant & Family of Deer: These belonged to my Grandma McCay. She always had them displayed in a little circle like that. She said it was for good luck.

Sagitarius Pendant: Grandma Barbour's pendant. I wear this necklace all the time.

Ducks: This was a gift from my dad when I was little. It's a box shaped like a duck with little duckie earrings and a necklace inside.

America- National Parks Book: A beautiful Christmas gift from Matthew. I stay up late reading about all the national parks and planning in my mind when I'll be able to see them all.

Note From My Sister: Marissa wrote me this little note at some point during our childhood. I found it in a drawer recently. Funny the things you end up finding again.

Turtle Tray: I fell in love with this little tray when I was really little. It belonged to someone that worked with my dad and I found it when I went to work with him one day. I didn't steal it! She let me have it.. I still looove it.

Rings: Can't really see the detail on these, but one was a christening gift and it has a tiny gold heart. The other was a gift to my mom from her father- a tiny, tiny emerald from Colombia. I wear these pretty much ever day.

Photograph of My Grandma (1940):My Grandma was a babe!

My First Polaroid: 1999- I took this photo and then decided that I wanted to be a photographer. I was 14 years old.

In other news, my nails may or may not be bright neon yellow. Boo and I may have been snacking and laying around all evening (snacking: me, laying around: Boo.) I might be waiting up for Marissa to get home from Manhattan- I feel like my mom. I want to make sure she gets home safe, but her train doesn't leave the city until 2:53am. Booooo weekend train schedule.
